Yep, only the Ruger Old Army. USFA (USPFA) did some in their early years but they were made from Uberti parts. The percussion revolvers didn't make it to the "all domestic" transition. That said, if I wanted a really fine percussion or cartridge conversion revolver, I'd have someone like "45D"...

If we're talking about percussion or cartridge conversions built to the same standards as the USFA or Standard Mfg SAA's, count me in.

No difference. Though some configurations are only available through certain distributors.

I know I didn't! That was the last decade I remember finding good deals at shows but not that good. I used to only go for bullets, powder and primers but don't even bother any more.

I'd like to convert a new brass frame gun just to see how long it would last.

Anything you buy from the distributor is going to be MSRP. Not really a fair comparison.

Good Lord, man. We're not even talking about the same thing.

What did you swap the grips from? They don't look like they have the usual brass frame Pietta "tail". I put one in my cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

That's just not true. Everything has room for improvement. Even a $3000 Freedom Arms can benefit from a trigger job.

The 1860, 1861 and 1862 Police are all sexy beasts! I'm partial to the all steel London model.

The best thing about the whole issue is that everybody's guns are better. Both Uberti and Pietta have made great strides in improving their products over the last 10-20yrs. Not only are they made better but the finishes are much improved and usually their customer service is very good. I've only...

Except that it's not true.

Link? Easy enough. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/cimarron-quality-vs-uberti-notion.825047/ Not saying they don't and don't see how my posts would conflict with this. Especially since we're discussing Uberti, not Pietta. If you order enough guns, you can get anything made...

One thing affecting the price of the $235 gun at Midway is the plastic grip. Looks like the same grips I have on another cartridge gun and they are cheap. I'm sure they're significantly cheaper to produce than one piece walnut. I'm tempted to get one for the hell of it.

Throttle back on the personal comments there smart guy. I do not know it all but I do know this. I also know how to make a point without personal insults. I also have FIFTY Italian replica revolvers and have been through every one of them. This nonsensical "theory" you have has no basis in...

Interesting theory with no basis in reality. Do you have a single shred of evidence to support this theory? So you don't think the gunsmiths that work on these things for a living would notice the difference? You really think they would be selling guns that look like all the others on the...

Let's see, the folks who tour the factories, talk to the engineers and write about these guns say there's no difference. The folks who own a bunch from every importer say there's no difference. The folks who work on the things for a living say there's no difference. When I cornered Mike Harvey...

Yes, I do. Plus it makes no sense.

You were told wrong.

Except they're not doing that. It would make no sense to cherry pick parts for one importer over another. They're all the same.
